Super Moist Turkey Meatloaf Recipe

This is my famous Super Moist Turkey Meatloaf recipe. This will get even the anti-meatloafers to change their mind. The meat stays super moist because of the bacon and the carrots inside.

The bacon fat bastes the meat while it’s cooking and gives it an excellent taste benefit. When you slice this moist meatloaf open, it almost looks like stained glass, too pretty to eat. Make sure you do, though, because this will be a meatloaf unlike any other you have ever tasted.

I have always wondered how to make my turkey meatloaf juicy and moist. And I’m happy to announce that I have found the best way to do it.

Meatloaf has the tendency to be dry so this has been a big challenge for me in making meatloaf recipes. I always strive to make my meatloaf as moist as it can and recently I perfected this super moist turkey meatloaf.
